Prior to Training Camp - Predicting the 53 Man Roster

I think Johnathan? Ford NT has a legit shot. I think he’s going to win out over Stack as our #2 NT option for short yardage. He was poached off our PS and resigned the second he was cut. He’s got like 4 years of experience and he’s cheap and obviously well liked. I don’t think we liked he was stolen to begin with. He was ready to take a bigger role and big he is. Maybe he’s a first option PS again, but I think his experience wins out over Stack. We need to stiffen up in the middle DL if we’re tested and tested we will be. I’m not sure I trust Stack he’s probably a year away yet from ready just imo. I think we’ll keep a pure NT though. At a trim 6’5” 340lb he’s a load to move and I think we always kinda hope our 7th rounders pop. Just a pride thing.

I don't think Gluten has much choice but to add a veteran RB. Even if Jacobs doesn't get charged, the NFL can and will punish players over domestic abuse allegations, and severely. If that does happen, there will be a lengthy investigation by the NFL, well I think it could be lengthy. So Jacobs could start the season, only to be suspended down the road.

That affects he timing of when Gluten adds a veteran RB. The need though is apparent. Let's hope Lloyd puts the last two years waaaaay behind him and comes out firing.

Agreed. I had made that comment, though, BEFORE the Jacobs news broke. So now a RB add is even MORE important.

Think the NFL is waiting for more facts to emerge or for law enforcement to proceed in one direction or another.
